In Universities the percentages of people obtaining diplomas are 60% female and 40% male. Yet some claim that these figures are approaching 70% female and 30% male. Zero-Tolerance policy is not effective for male students, in fact in drives them away from obtaining education. The lack of male teachers are driving boys to not favor school and engage in activities such as sports, and even video games. Compressed curriculum makes boys out of sync with schooling. We need to create new games that are educational, and give those games budget of a large amount. - cporra Mar 7, 2011
